Camp

Who's ready for a weekend full of fun, education, and more importantly hanging out with others living with type 1 diabetes? With the addition of a science, technology, engineering, arts and math theme, we will be doing many new activities as well as your camp favorites! We also typically have a lot of fun outside building snowmen and sledding at this program. You may bring one friend or sibling without diabetes to this fun weekend.

It's the camp version of March Madness! Bring a friend or sibling without diabetes and experience camp during the school year. Enjoy your time with all our regular camp games and maybe learn some new games that will be tested prior to the start of summer camp. Don't miss this fun weekend!

Coed, All Ages Here at Barton, camp is a family affair! Join us for a weekend of family-oriented games, learning activities, and even a little education. Bring the grandparents, aunts, uncles and babysitters too - there will be education geared towards the beginner but also sessions for those more experienced in diabetes management. Now Dad can put his art project on the fridge, and Mom can shred competition during ultimate Frisbee. All of this while getting the chance to meet other parents and family members of children with T1D.

Are you thinking about sending your child to summer camp, but you want to get a sense of what camp is like before you decide? This is your opportunity to come to camp to see what Barton summer camp programs are all about: get to see where your child will be sleeping, eating, and playing while at camp! Come see Clara Barton Camp, Camp Joslin, or Barton Worcester Day Camp! Visit anytime between 2PM and 4 PM to meet staff, sample camp life, and tour the property. Snacks and laughs are on the menu! PLEASE REGISTER TO ATTEND.

Coed, Ages 6-16. Barton will once again be teaming bringing the fun and excitement of camp to kids in northern New England. This program is just a short ride from Burlington, Vermont, and easily accessible from upstate New York, northern New Hampshire and Montreal. Located on the brand new, spacious Camp Ta-Kum-Ta camp grounds, Barton campers will experience the outdoors, enjoy swimming, arts and crafts, and crazy camp games along with diabetes education! Provide your camper with the skills to live a successful, healthy life with diabetes while empowering them to be who they want to be! This overnight camp is a wonderful opportunity for kids living in northern New England to learn from each other that they are not alone in their school district or county and that they can have fun and make lifelong friends in a fun, safe and educational setting!

Coed, Ages 13-18 The Barton Center Adventure Program is a truly unique immersion experience that allows small groups of campers (no more than 12) to challenge themselves and grow through safe adventures. We take our campers On the Road to different locations along the coast and in the mountains of Maine to experience a mix of fun and learning in nature. Adventures include hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, rope courses, whitewater rafting, paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking, and more! Woven throughout all these activities are lessons in natural history, ecology, geology, and culture along the way. We also teach and practice skills in leadership, teamwork, music, wilderness stewardship, and camp skills. Moderate difficulty, some outdoor experience recommended. Please contact The Barton Center for more information. Program begins and ends at Clara Barton Camp in North Oxford, MA.
